"Just now!" Gongsun Yingjiang said with a look of innocence, "it seems you were talking in Aunt Wu's branch."
"I wasn't in the branch of Eighth Sister, but stayed in the small drawing room for a while," Sheng Weiqiao said gloomily, "When do you think it happened?"
Though she asked so, she could almost be sure that Gongsun Xi had already known the coming of the two maids, and he had notified Sheng Shuihe!
Under the request of Sheng Weiqiao, Gongsun Yingjiang indeed "strived" to think for quite a while before piecing some time cues. After contrasting, Sheng Weiqiao found it was when she interrogated the two maids in the small drawing room.
"If Sheng Shuihe knew the maids were being interrogated in advance, he was well likely to expect that I would settle the accounts with him. If so, all the people I saw when I rushed into the study just now..." Thinking this, Sheng Weiqiao was angry again. Her eyes soared, and her fists clenched, wi
Peering at Sheng Shuihe's expressionless face and emotionless eyes, Sheng Weiqiao somehow sensed his tumultuous mood beneath!But she thought it normal. After all, she seemed to have revealed an astounding secret!As a considerate sister, she remained silent, leaving Sheng Shuihe to recollect himself.Fortunately, as a man who once led an adventurous life, Sheng Shuihe had more self-control comparative to normal people. He managed to recompose himself before the silence between them lasted even longer and uttered slowly, "Sweetie, what brought you to ask me something so crazy?"He hadn't yet suspected Gongsun Yingjiang, because she had departed when he came over. And she had been so quiet and meek recently as if she hadn't existed that he subconsciously ignored her at the moment.In fact, he was suspicious of Gongsun Xi!He had a record, after all. He once, in Sheng Shuihe's presence, intentionally incited
Sheng Shuihe felt the situation was beyond help, and in despair, he awaited the doomed tempest. But a ray of hope suddenly came for him, allowing him to save the broad-minded and loyal image he had been keeping in the past two years. Someone knocked at the door, and Jinli said anxiously, "Miss, Eighth Miss doesn't seem quite well now. Will you go take a look at her?"Sheng Weiqiao was blindsided by that news!She wasn't in a mood to interrogate Sheng Shuihe now!She shoved him aside and dashed to open the door. She asked, "What do you mean of not quite well? Wasn't she alright when I left just now?!""I don't know. I've sent someone to call the doctor from the back room." Head drooping, Jinli twisted her fingers together, flustered, "Eighth Miss's servants couldn't tell the reason behind. They came to me when they found she dubiously fell asleep all of a sudden... I didn't know what had got into her, so, I came over to report it!"
Sheng Shuihe inhibited his melancholy and stepped into Sheng Weiwu's room. And upon his entry, he heard Sheng Weiqiao impatiently interrupting the doctor, "Enough of those esoteric medical theories! I'm not a doctor, nor do I read the books concerning medicine! The complex things you talked about before were all Greek to me! Now, tell me, accurately and briefly, "What happened to Eighth Sister?!""My sweetie!" Sheng Shuihe's lips curled into a smile. The doctor must be waffling on about medical theories to buy some time under Lvqi's order, and he knew that Sheng Weiwu was very well at the moment. But still, he felt amused and speechless when Sheng Weiqiao said those words, "She isn't ashamed at all of her lack of information!"He cleared his throat and went in to speak, "Sweetie, what's wrong with Eighth Sister?""Here you are?! After all of this?!" Sheng Weiqiao stopped cross-examining the doctor and instantly zeroed in on him. She said with a
"The two pretty maids?" Sheng Shuihe responded severely, "They're merely two maids! Will you care about the appearance of a maid? They're not so deformed as to frighten our guests when serving a cup of tea, and that's enough! What else would you expect from them?"He took the initiative and continued, "Sweetie, Sheng Family isn't like those wild people! Our seniors, including Father and Third Uncle, are both loyal to their wives! Second Uncle is an exception, though, because of which he's disliked by Grandfather. But didn't he move out already two years ago?"“And in our generation, from Second Brother and I to Fifth Brother, we have all reached a marriageable age. Seniors care about us, though, they're not disposed to take concubines for us!""A nation's cultivation stems from a virgin's conduct, and a family's prosperity comes from a woman's chastity!""How did Father manage to grow Sheng Family into an influential one from the o
With the aid of his secret traitors, Sheng Shuihe proceeded smoothly with his route of whitewashing. The two maids got down on their knees the moment they spotted him. They showed their token of Wuyi Battalion and referred to him as Chief. After a few questions, they authenticated their identity, and eyes brimmed with tears, they kowtowed to him, beseeching his forgiveness for their abrupt visit.Then they spit out the whole truth without Sheng Shuihe's further questioning. They were born in the region near Chang'an and had strayed into Daimao Island by accident. Fortunately for them, they were selected for Wuyi Battalion and got to escape the things like sexual abuse. But they didn't anticipate going back to their hometown one day.Xu Lianshan received the letter from Sheng Shuihe in which he asked two maids, and was intended to pick two girls from Wuyi Battalion. They offered to come to Chang'an, out of nostalgic feelings, but were rejected directly by hi
Sheng Weiqiao flipped out quickly, turning from soft and pettish mode to unruly mode. She threw Sheng Shuihe's arm away, patted table hard, and pointed to his nose. Then, she yelled, "I said no killing! Teaching them a lesson would be fine. Dare you try to refuse!?"Seeing her anger, Sheng Shuihe sighed deeply. Lvjin and Jinli standing behind her were full of tears...Oh my God, although they tried hard for the brotherhood between the master and Sheng Shuihe, would their efforts work due to the counteracting of their master...?Sheng Weiqiao didn't know the sorrow of her maids and became angrier after seeing Sheng Shuihe make no statement at the first time. She jumped from the bed to the ground, gently lifted the skirt, and stepped forward on Sheng Shuihe's instep, with both grinding and rolling. Then, she lifted her leg to kick and rolled the sleeve to hit. Feeling tired, she changed to twist his ear, especially the soft part of the ear, which
As Sheng Weiqiao's maid, Lvjin wouldn't put Sheng Shuihe's honor and rank first like the doorman before.What she cared about most was the future of her own master. In her opinion, if Sheng Weiqiao had a good relationship with Sheng Shuihe, then she would gain some advantage from him after he passed the examination, which would be the best situation. While at this time, it was clear that Sheng Weiqiao had been always against Sheng Shuihe!Even though Sheng Shuihe had always been generous, after all, they were half-blooded, and Sheng Shuihe found his origin until the year before last!So Lvjin really couldn't believe the depth of his feelings for Sheng Weiqiao."If Miss keeps doing this and we can't stop her... " Lvjin thought in fear, "We can only hurt the Eldest Childe then! We can only ruin his future so he can't threaten Miss in the future!"As for what she would end up with after doing this, Lvjin trusted Madam Fen
However, despite the chaos and reluctance in their hearts, looking at the frowning brows and serious eyes of Sheng Shuihe, Yishan and Yiliu immediately lowered their head and narrowed their eyes, saying solemnly, "Yes, Childe!"Yiliu hesitated, and finally said, "Childe, since you care about Third Miss Sheng's thoughts so much, why you just let us mention the so-called family... If Third Miss Sheng really wants to find them for us, what should we do then?""You don't need to worry about this. The people in those places are ours." Sheng Shuihe said coldly, "I'm just worried that I can't deal with them quietly. It's a ready opportunity!"This was true. The two families he asked Yishan and Yiliu talked about were the spies sent to Chang'an by Gongsun Family a few years ago. After all, as pirates for four generations, who wanted to be recruited by the imperial court, Gongsun Family were really flustered even if they had tried their best to cover th
